Lavash: An Armenian Staple

Spread the Word

A short video from Armenia of a mother and daughter baking lavash, the ubiquitous flatbread eaten with every meal. The hole in the center is the ovenbasically a cylindrical chimney set in the ground. A fire is built in the bottom. The dough is stretched to size, and once the fire dies down, it is slapped onto the hot walls of the oven until crispy.
